1. The Flash
Barry Allen’s adventures in his second season, despite being similarly duped by his annual adversary, are infinitely more dangerous, and achieve a vast amount of world building while simultaneously building on the main cast’s characterization. It’s even able to do all of this, in addition to introducing a multiverse of the characters we already know, having faith that the viewers can maintain an understanding of who the actors are portraying between the traditional character, and each respective Earth 2 “doppleganger.” The mysteries surrounding Barry this season keep the cast and the viewers on their toes from the slowly revealed identity of Zoom, the origins of the Reverse Flash and the powers of the Speedforce, while the cast grows even stronger with a new Harrison Wells to accompany the Star Labs crew and the introduction of Joe West’s son Wally, the promise of new and interesting characters makes the future of this show all the more fascinating to behold. It’s all hefty science fiction, yet feels like some of the most human storytelling on network television. – Evan Griffin
